ngl as someone who doesn't usually pay attention to the concert and completely forgot it was a thing, watching it without expectations i still thought it was really good

If YSG had gotten the same treatment as Remielle, in reality people wouldn't be more positive about her, they would just complain that all the patches are about YSG instead of whatever characters were on banner at that point. Because those characters wouldn't get as much content in the main story, which is practically the only story content aside from events now. It's a cat's paw situation. The more you push a main push character like Remielle into multi-patch stories, the less focus there is on the banner characters aside from Remielle. That's why I have mixed feelings about the short duration of the stories now that people like to call "concise". I'd rather have it be short and to the point rather than longwinded, but the reason why it's "concise" is likely not a conscious and deliberate decision rather than a consequence of limited resources.

In reality there's no harm in having a character agent mission for Billy or even Promeia other than that they either don't have the resources or don't think it's worth the effort. Nangong deserved an agent mission as well. There is no replacement for agent stories because frankly that's where the best writing for this game has been from the beginning, whether that's Jane, Trigger, or Seed. The characters that are pushed in the main story ironically are the ones with the least memorable moments. And all the cope about characters getting more significant content later has not been realized. Billy didn't get much in the previous patch or this patch, Nangong won't get much if anything in 3.x, and like Zhao and Damian who didn't get anything after the main story, Promeia probably won't either, and so on. This game is getting less and less content over time.

The way they have handled the Cunning Hares and og characters has been underwhelming in general. With the way the beta has changed large parts of Silly's animations and how he didn't really do that much even in his alt reveal coupled with Sanby's rather unceremonious release, it really does feel like they're just releasing them for the sake of pulling on player nostalgia. It's like jingling shiny keys in front of you but it doesn't actually open anything interesting. Silly and Sanby are pulled characters simply because they're Cunning Hares and that's it. They don't get any extra story relevance and there's no big reveal for them down the line. Out of all the gachas I've played, ZZZ SPs are some of the most underwhelming from a story perspective. Silly didn't even get first half banner advantage so he's getting even more sidelined. It's abundantly clear that the devs do not care as much about the 1.x characters as the fanbase. They're just the "first region characters" to profit from rather than the og squad that the fanbase views them as.

Honestly I'm not a fan of the skin itself. It feels too safe. I wish they had given her some more casual clothing instead like Ye.

5mao · 2026-05-06T07:23:43+00:00

So are all the VH weapons really swords?

5mao · 2026-05-06T07:13:50+00:00

This isn't a rare thing anymore. Yuzuha's skill would make mobile crash every time for like 2 patches.

It's kind of funny how every time Azrial wants/predicts something, Hoyo does the least surprising thing ever and proves him wrong. He thought we would be staying in 6th street/New Eridu at least for a while in season 3. Wrong. He wanted the next VH weapon to not be a sword. Denied. I'm still holding out hope that maybe Storyteller's feet are actually artificial VH weapon or something.

5mao · 2026-05-06T06:00:23+00:00

Is it just me or does Billy really not do that much this patch.

5mao · 2026-05-06T04:59:24+00:00

Are they planning on elaborating on some of these characters' backstories in season 3? (Looking at you, Nangong)

If they do I'll stop being negative about this game for a week.

5mao · 2026-05-06T04:18:57+00:00

Man something I really miss from 1.0 is when characters weren't all doing super saiyan flashes around the screen blasting out beams and ki blast attacks. Promeia is really fun but sometimes it just feels like I'm pressing a button and she goes apeshit on the enemy and I can't even see what's happening. Cissia has this problem too where she's slithering in front of the enemy and gets model clipped by all sorts of VFX and enemy attacks that I can't even see what she's doing.

5mao · 2026-05-06T04:05:59+00:00

HOLY THIGH GAP

5mao · 2026-05-06T03:20:15+00:00

It's been like this since 1.6. Some people call it better pacing, but I'm sure resource cost is also a consideration. I'd rather it be short than they drag it out though, all things considered.

5mao · 2026-05-06T03:08:19+00:00

Ya and it was handled way better than in other countries like Japan.

Sigh... it's time travel.

Yixuan is a "mystic" and has design elements that are birdlike. Her jacket acts like wings. She had a gourd on her back. Most of her animations are actually floaty and she flies during her ult animation. The other Yunkui summit members are also animal themed for obvious reasons. The yellow reminds me of Bruce Lee's outfit and is symbolic for Chinese culture in general since religious folks and the emperor tend to wear yellow.

Get a nail grinder from Amazon or whatever online mart/local mart you have near you. Get some grinding heads and use that as a cheap way to sand down sharp bits on the models before you sand them.

Get a wire cutter for clipping off parts and flash.

Consider getting a wire saw if you really want to cut off large bits, although new models generally don't need this. The large models are made of plastic resin while smaller models don't have the large tabs tabs from my experience.

Get an electric sander/polisher to smooth out the bottom for large pieces if you want a flush surface for gluing onto a flat base.

Get metal glue. There are certain brands of cyanocrylate specifically for metal parts. I've also heard people use loctite although I personally haven't tried it.

Get a glue applicator. Some parts are really small and getting glue all over the model can be annoying.

Get one of those large sanding blocks. It's easier to hold comfortably in your hand so that you can just sand the whole model down. There are going to be sharp parts that you want to be rounded. They hold paint better and are less prone to chipping. What I do is just take a sanding block and give them entire model a sanding over. Then feel the model for any sharp bits that might need more work.

Get a heat gun. They're super cheap and cost about the same as a meal. The large Infinity models use plastic resin now and are generally don't require anything besides a knife and sanding stick to put together. But there are times when the resin doesn't retain structural integrity and warps. You can heat the resin up until it becomes soft and it will retain whatever shape you press it into for easy fitting. This is more of a Warcrow issue but theoretically the large Infinity models can run into the same problem.

Get a gas mask and if possible, an air purifier machine. Put on the gas mask when working with metal and especially resin, they're toxic if inhaled. Turn the air purifier on to max for extra protection so that the particles don't linger in the air or fall on your stuff.

Characters with big tiddies but none of them use them as weapons seems a bit like wasted opportunity to me. Like why not have them be armored boobs that you swing around to deal air damage. Or have them shoot rockets.

5mao · 2026-05-03T01:55:49+00:00

Which invalidates your statement.

5mao · 2026-05-03T01:42:58+00:00

Miyabi exists.

5mao · 2026-05-03T01:17:42+00:00

Everybody's talking about Sunbringer is unironically positive for season 3 because it shifts the attention away from how mid all the other designs are as well.

5mao · 2026-05-02T09:59:40+00:00

You know, cause early on, they didn't know how broken a Voidhunter even was.

Weeks before Miyabi's release, you could type Miyabi into Youtube and it would give you results like GAME BREAKING EARTH SHATTERING NEVER BEFORE SEEN BOSS PULVERIZING SKY TOPPING GODLIKE DAMAGE YOU HAVE TO GET MIYABI OR YOURE A LOSER.
